I don’t think so. But I’m not 100% sure.

they come in leather (sensatec on 2023+) from the factory with the full leather package on non-manual models. I have a spare set if you're looking for them.

You don't need to remove mirrors. Tilt mirror down and inward. Then press the outer upper clip above the mirror. You pull from the outside on an arc towards the car. And push forward at same time. This allows the pesky inner clip on the thin part inner (closest to car) to disengage... once u get the first and understand this.. the second one took 5 minutes.

How was the install of the knee pads? On my mod list and curious about how much effort to install is involved.

Are the M3/4 variants interchangeable and are yours leather or sensatec?

M3/m4 are the same, only the manual transmission is different and isn’t compatible. On the 2022 and earlier the real leather knee pads bmw also used contrast stitching to match the main interior color. For 2023+ BMW made some cost cutting changes and the knee pads got downgraded to sensatec with a standard stitch color. However if you have the plastic parts, they are still much nicer. The extra set I have is from a 2023.

Installed the Armaspeed intake. Super easy to install and the sound is incredible. Sounds like a prop car from the fast and furious with all those whooosh sounds haha. Makes me feel young again. The quality of the parts were also incredible.
